Volcano Types
The volcano type that is tall and pointy
What is a stratovolcano
The place where two plates are moving away from each other
What is a divergent boundary
This is a large, underground reservoir of melted mantle material
What is a magma chamber
The two volcanoes we studied that are regions of stability
What are Kilauae and Yellowstone.
The highest explosivity index that a volcano can have. This is the most dangerous and destructive eruption
What is 8
The volcano type that has a sunken in crater-like top
What is a caldera
The place where plates are moving toward each other, and one gets pushed under another.
What is a convergent boundary
The process by which erupted lava hardens into rock

What are earthquakes and volcanoes
This is the partially melted layer of rock below the earth's crust that forms magma
What is the mantle
Volcanoes in the middle of a plate are formed by this process
What are hotspots or mantle plumes
This is what we call it when one plate gets pushed under another at a convergent boundary
What is subduction
The volcano type that is long, low, and has lava oozing from cracks at times
What is a fissure vent
The oldest material created at divergent boundaries can be found in this location
VEI stands for this
What is volcanic explosivity index
What is Iceland
Name the light colored rock associated with Mt. St. Helen's
What is andesite
Yellowstone is also classified as this potentially dangerous volcano type
What is a supervolcano
What is mid ocean ridges
Name the rock type associated with volcanos along divergent boundaries
What is basalt
Name the two volcanoes that produce black basalt rock
What are Hekla and Kilauea
The scientific term for the "stuff" that erupts forcefully upward from a volcano. Examples are smoke, ash, rocks, exploding lava etc.
What is tephra
